After the two disciples left, Tan Yun gently reached out and stroked the **Heavenly Flame Divine Sword**, his star-filled eyes carrying a deep sense of longing.
“Fire Wu… it won’t be long. Its true master will bring you home.”
With that, he mounted the **Golden Dragon Lion** and shot toward a solitary peak piercing through the clouds to the west, about **300 li** away.
——
More than **1 month** earlier, when Tan Yun first arrived at the entrance of the **Eternal Immortal Sect**, he had already carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain.
Within a radius of **300 li**, there were a total of **360 mountains**.
From above, these **360 peaks** formed the shape of a gigantic **eagle**, staring directly at the “Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword” known as *Fire Wu*.
This was the **Xuan Ying Strangulation Formation**, a Saint-tier formation laid down by a formation grandmaster.
Its sole purpose was—
to protect the so-called **Eternal Divine Sword**.
If anyone tried to pull the sword out—
the formation would erupt with destructive power from all **360 mountain peaks** simultaneously.
That level of power was enough to instantly erase even top-tier experts on the **Heavenly Punishment Continent**.
But for Tan Yun—
even if the power were multiplied several times, it still wouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest.
——
A distance of **300 li** meant only a few breaths of time for him.
Tan Yun landed on a lonely mountain peak.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
He removed the **Turtle Breath Concealing Cloak**, lowered his head, and spun rapidly like a top before suddenly drilling straight into the mountain.
His hands transformed into claws, tearing through soil and rock effortlessly as his body rapidly descended.
**1,000 zhang… 3,000 zhang…**
Until he reached a depth of **80,000 zhang**.
——
“Thud!”
He dropped into a cavern roughly **100 zhang** wide.
Tan Yun flipped midair and landed lightly on the ground, dust clinging to his body. He then walked straight toward a **3-zhang tall red formation altar** in the center of the cave.
On the altar were hundreds of thousands of thin formation lines, intricate like strands of hair.
All the lines intertwined and continuously revolved around a central “core eye” of the formation.
At a glance, it looked as if it were alive.
Tan Yun only needed a moment to understand.
This was the **core of the Xuan Ying Strangulation Formation**.
But what surprised him was—
“Hmph… the one who set this formation is quite cunning.”
“This is not the Xuan Ying Annihilation Formation…”
“It is the… Xuan Ying Immortal Extinction Formation!”
His eyes gleamed coldly.
With his mastery of formations, he could tell instantly—
the surrounding **360 mountains** were indeed arranged according to the Xuan Ying Annihilation Formation.
But the core formation here had been subtly altered.
Even a Saint-tier formation master would be completely deceived.
Because no one would be able to distinguish that—
this was not Saint-tier at all…
but a **half-Immortal tier peak formation**.
——
Once activated,
its destructive power would not merely erase **1,000 li** of mountains—
but annihilate everything within its range completely.
“In the mortal world… there are not many who can set up such a formation.”
Tan Yun murmured softly.
“It must be… the founding ancestor of the Eternal Immortal Sect.”
——
He flicked his storage ring.
A top-grade spirit stone appeared midair, floating above the formation’s core eye under his control.
Then, he locked it in place with his divine sense.
After that, he turned and left the cave.
Using the tunnel he had dug earlier, he returned to the mountain surface.
——
At the same time, he continued controlling the spirit stone beneath the mountain.
Meanwhile, he rode the **Golden Dragon Lion**, soaring another **100 li** across the sky.
Like a shadow cutting through the air.
——
From a high vantage point, the scene would be shocking.
The mountain where Tan Yun had just entered—and the one he stood on now—
were the “two eyes” of the giant eagle formed by the **360 peaks**.
The previous peak… was the **left eye**.
And the current one… was the **right eye**.
“Bang… bang… bang…”
Tan Yun once again forced his way forward, twisting his body and diving straight down beneath the mountain. He drilled deeper and deeper until he reached a depth of **80,000 zhang**, breaking into a massive underground cavern.
Everything was exactly as he had expected.
At the center of the cavern stood a **blood-red formation plate**, about **3 zhang (~10 meters)** in length, silently suspended in place.
——
After only a brief inspection, Tan Yun confirmed it immediately.
This formation plate was **identical in every detail** to another node located in the opposite mountain.
And the method to activate this “formation eye” was extremely simple—
Only **1 high-grade spirit stone** was required.
——
With a flick of his hand, a high-grade spirit stone shot forward through the air and hovered above the formation core.
Then Tan Yun used his spiritual sense to lock it firmly in place before retracing his path and returning to the mountain surface.
——
After that, he once again put on the “Black Turtle Breath-Concealing Cloak” and mounted the Golden Dragon Lion, soaring across the sky for about **300 li**, returning to the entrance of the Eternal Immortal Sect.
——
“Activate.”
Tan Yun immediately focused his spiritual sense.
The **two high-grade spirit stones**, positioned in two separate mountains, were activated simultaneously and embedded perfectly into their respective formation cores.
At that moment—
The gigantic Hongmeng sword, towering over **30,000 zhang**, trembled slightly.
The surrounding air rippled, then gradually returned to calm.
——
This meant one thing—
Tan Yun had successfully **broken the control of the Xuan Ying Annihilation Formation** over the divine sword without anyone noticing.
——
Suddenly, a weak but gentle voice echoed in his mind.
“Master… is it you…?”
The voice came from within the giant sword.
“Fire Wu… it’s me,” Tan Yun replied with deep emotion.
“Great… I… I can finally…” the voice trembled, then broke off mid-sentence as consciousness faded again.
“Don’t worry… I’ll take you home now,” Tan Yun said softly.
——
He raised both hands and formed a series of complex seals.
Streams of spiritual energy flowed out like fine threads, continuously entering the giant sword.
This was the **Savage Imprisonment Technique**, a sealing method.
——
Tan Yun was extremely familiar with it.
Because this technique originally belonged to the leader of an ancient giant race—**the Savage God Lord**, once one of his subordinates.
After Tan Yun entered reincarnation, the divine sword Fire Wu was secretly sealed and guarded by the Savage God Lord.
The purpose of this seal was simple—
To prevent Fire Wu from falling into anyone else’s hands.
——
Tan Yun understood instantly:
Once this seal was placed, **no cultivator on the entire Heavenly Punishment Continent** could break it—except the one who cast it.
So when the founder of the Eternal Immortal Sect discovered Fire Wu **80,000 years ago**, he could not remove the seal.
As a result, he could only plant the sword in front of the sect gate and revere it as the **Eternal Divine Sword**, using it as both a symbol and a guardian weapon.
To prevent theft, they also layered it with the **Xuan Ying Annihilation Formation**.
——
If the sect founder knew that his “sacred symbol” was being stolen right now…
He would probably be so furious he’d “crawl out of his coffin.”
——
“Pfft!”
Tan Yun struck his own chest hard. A mouthful of **deep purple essence blood** spurted out.
——
“Blood sacrifice!”
He immediately controlled the essence blood before it hit the ground, shaping it into a blood seal in midair.
The seal was covered in dense, intricate runes.
At its center were four blood-colored characters:
**“Primordial Supreme”**
——
With a wave of his hand, the blood seal shot straight into the Hongmeng Divine Sword.
——
*Buzz!*
The giant sword trembled slightly, then completely absorbed the blood seal.
At that moment—
Tan Yun felt a **bloodline connection** form completely between himself and the divine sword.
——
This meant one thing:
The **blood sacrifice ritual had been successfully completed.**
